Training Camp: News/Notes (2022)

[catent]

Sorry, if it wasn't clear, my above post was said mostly tongue-in-cheek and with a smile (especially the "heathens" remark, lol). If the vocal majority prefer daily threads then that should be the approach.

Use this thread as a TC pre-game thread, and/or Day 1, and then start making dailies from there. And to BGC's point, maybe you have dailies with specific updates, alongside a larger/broader ongoing TC/team/roster discussion thread (which this thread could potentially serve as, too).

Now if @Ian would only allow us to read 100 posts per page.... (Just my annual complaint, @Ian )

Agreed. I remember the old days ... (But thanks for all you do, Ian.)

My bad , just noticed that this appears to have been updated from a player perspective but the title still says 2021....ooops sorry !

Yeah, just type "Patspicker" on your search and don't worry about the year itself... It's updated fairly quickly, and thanks to whoever does that for us!

I might be missing the obvious but what does the last tweet refer to ???? NFC West / NFC ?

 

[captain stone]

Naturally, the Pats have more than the league average on those lists.... Bill just loves drafting himself some Damaged Goods...

I believe all 32 teams but there's actually more than 50 players on PUP:

ARI: PUP-1 ; NFI-1
ATL: PUP-1
BAL: PUP-6 ; NFI-1
BUF: PUP-3 ; NFI-1
CAR:
CHI:
CIN: PUP-5 ; NFI-1
CLE: PUP-1
DAL:
DEN:
DET:
GB: PUP-10 ; NFI-3
HOU:
IND: PUP-4 ; NFI-1
JAX:
KC: PUP-4
LVR: PUP-4 ; NFI-1
LAC: NFI-1
LAR: PUP-4
MIA: PUP-1 ; NFI-1
MIN:
NE: PUP-5 ; NFI-2
NO: PUP-3 ; NFI-1
NYG: PUP-1
NYJ: PUP-5 ; NFI-1
PHI:
PIT:
SF:
SEA:
TB: PUP-2
TEN: PUP-3
WAS:

TOT: PUP-64 ; NFI-14
AVG: PUP-2 ; NFI-0.4

GB (wow), BAL & NE have the most players on these lists but other teams don't have to announce PUP for veterans until they return next TUE, so there's probably more coming.

Thanks for that , at first glance I thought thats on the Pats !!!.......LOL.....then I thought the numbers looked at bit on the big side for one team....duh

Also, I didn't realize that players on NFI list don't count against the roster (but do against the cap). So, Pats actually only have 82 players for training camp w/ 5 on PUP.

I'm not sure this is true. There are two types of both PUP and NFI designations: active, and reserve. Active counts against the roster limit, reserve doesn't. Our two rookie OL on the NFI list are active, whereas Nordin is reserve (he had to pass through waivers to get there). The former two are eligible to practice whenever they're ready, but Nordin is done for the year. Nordin is the only one who wouldn't count toward the active roster limit.

Yea, maybe idk. I thought active-NFI was during TC and reserve was when season began. Most of the NFIs are listed as active but I know Nordin is reserve.

So, you believe these amounts are guaranteed? Otherwise, only their bonuses count again the top 51.

Not sure what you're talking about. Nobody is discussing salaries.

Can't wait!!!!

Hoping Jack Jones picks up where he left off in minicamp- starting alongside Mills and providing tight coverage vs. the top wrs.
Can't expect him to be JC Jackson as a rookie but kids got some skills and probably the best raw talent of the cbs.
With Jon.Jones returning as the top slot, the cbs might not be as bad as I thought.
MJones probably the backup slot adds depth. The safeties are the best unit on the team so our def.backfield hopefully won't suck

 

[captain stone]

Can't wait!!!!

A little more clarification on some of those PUPpies might be forth-coming by then also...
